     Okay, it’s almost midnight … But it looks like, with just a few more clicks, we’ll be the #1 most voted blog on FuelMyBlog!

     Ok, well, as of 11:32PM, we’re now tied for #1 on the Top 100!  One more click, and we set a speed record:  from a lowly 13 votes to the #1 Blog in only 10 days!

     Whoop!  There it is!  At 11:36PM, we’re the #1 most voted blog on FuelMyBlog.

     So here’s where it started:

  • On 11-Apr-2007, I put the FuelMyBlog button in the sidebar.  Over the course of a week, a total of 13 people clicked it — and that’s it.
  • On 18-Apr-2007, I posted a blog about it.
  • On 19-Apr-2007, I was amazed to see we had more than 60 votes due in no small part to the post.
  • By 20-Apr-2007, we had around 130 votes.
  • By 22-Apr-2007, we made it to #13, so I posted about it again.
  • On 23-Apr-2007, I amazed to see us ranked #3.
  • On 27-Apr-2007, I made yet another post about us being at #2, and hoped to hit #1 by Saturday.
  • On 28-Apr-2007 at 11:36PM EDT, we hit #1.

     So that’s it … I consider this experiment concluded.  You don’t have to hit the button anymore.  We made it in 10 days, and that’s all I really care about.  ;-)

    Mark,

    The video concerning why bloggers shouldn’t date has hit home with me.

    Not that anyone is trying, but this video should deflect anyone who might by entertaining the thought.

    I sent it to all my female friends who blog and to those who have ever even heard of a blog!.

    Thanks for posting it!

    One last thing—can a girl from Texas find happiness in Chatanooga? I might be someday contemplating a move there…be honest with your assessment!

    Best,
    Laurie Kendrick
